MTB's On The Road

[BSRU]

Bromptons would be 'other' and they're certainly not rare in London. There are hordes of us.

Never thought of Bromptons/folders, I do see a couple now and then. I think seeing an adult on a BMX on the road is quite rare for me.

Yes, more likely on the pavement in my experience.

Time to buy a nice safe BMX. Just the thing for a quick 50 miler....

... just ask iLB

I wonder what the 7.5% 'other' styles of bike were?

I guess things like tandems and tricycles might fall in to this category too.

I think MTBs are far more common than any other bike, particularly amongst inexperienced cyclists.

i think many road bikers could also be called inexperienced, and i might add using a mountain bike is actually harder in many ways than a road bike when you go off-road, requires a lot of skill and mainly attention/being aware.

so my view is that due to being more aware off road once im on road im actually a better cyclist
